Characters

B

Bertram

Bertram is a mutant and member of the Morlocks. Their whereabouts are unknown..

Berzerker

Not to be confused with Berserker (comics).

Berzerker is a fictional character, a mutant from the Marvel Comics Universe. His first and last appearance was in X-Factor #11 (December 1986).

The character was a member and the leader of The Tunnelers, an offshoot group of Morlocks who hated Callisto's main group and dubbed them Drain Dwellers. Initially a group of ten, six of the Tunnelers were killed when the Marauders were sent to kill the Morlocks. Berzerker and three others survived the attack, only to get in another battle with Beast and Iceman, thinking they were Marauders too. The battle ends when the Tunnelers figure out that the X-Factor members are not their enemies.

Joining X-Factor at their base, the Tunnelers find out about their hosts' mock mutant hunter identities. The Tunnelers eventually leave hoping to find a new home in New Jersey. They ran into a human street gang called the Savage Wolf gang who tried to rob them. The Tunnelers fought back, ending in the deaths of the Tunneler Blowhard and two of the three gang members. They then got in a confrontation with the police where fellow Tunneler and Berzerker's love interest, Scaleface, was shot dead. Cyclops and Jean Grey arrived to save the remaining two Tunnelers, but it was too late; Berzerker was enraged by the loss of Scaleface and vowed revenge on all humanity. Before Cyclops could reason with him Berzerker let out a giant energy attack at him, blaming X-Factor for the Tunnelers' destruction. Cyclops fired back, overpowering Berzerker's initial shot. The optic blast from Cyclops knocked Berzerker into a river, electrocuting himself with his own powers resulting in his death. Masque was the only Tunneler that survived.

Berserker is a student at the Xavier Institute in the animated program X-Men: Evolution and is voiced by Tony Sampson. His name is stated as Ray Crisp. Unlike his comic counterpart, he is laid back and generally non-violent. His involvement with the Morlocks is never really described, however he does seem to have met them before at some point (when mutants are being hunted, he is the one who leads Sunspot, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane, Jubilee, Boom Boom, and Cannonball to their base in the sewers in order to hide out). In a laterepisode, when Spyke is poisoned and taken to be healed by the Morlocks, Ray is the only one who notices Callisto's presence and dedeuces where they are hiding. Later, when he is trying to escape the sewers, he is briefly pursued by Scaleface, begging her to just let him go. This is the only reference to their relationship in the comics. He seems to be familliar with all the Morlocks in that episode, however it could simply be explained by the fact that he and most of the New Mutants spent a few days living with them. Berserker appears in Wolverine and the X-men as part of Prof.Xavier's future X-men.

Blowhard

Blowhard appeared in X-Factor vol. 1 #11 (December 1986), and was created by Chris Claremont and John Romita, Jr.

During the Mutant Massacre, The Tunnelers successfully fought off the Marauders, at the cost of seven of their number, including Cybelle. For some reason, most of the Tunnelers seemed to despise the Drain Dwellers faction of the Morlocks.

The Beast and Iceman carried Leech and the wounded Caliban to safety following the Mutant Massacre, they entered the territory of the Tunnelers, and were promptly attacked. The Tunnelers were understandably apprehensive, and believing them to be Marauders, engaged in a short battle, Blowhard punched Beast, knocking him down, and then blew Beast and Iceman together into a mini-tornado. When Cyclops and Jean Grey arrived with Artie and the severely injured Angel, Berzerker recognized them as members of the X-Terminators, Mutant Freedom Fighters, (and X-Factor’s alter-ego), and ceased fighting. The Tunnelers scornfully refused any help and started to walk off but Scaleface persuades them to accept refuge with X-Factor. On their way to safety, Blow-Hard and the entire group are almost slain by Thor, who not knowing the survivors were in danger, had created a funeral pyre for the slaughtered Morlocks. They manage to find safety behind a thick door.

As X-Factor was posing as a team of mutant hunters, the Tunnelers naturally felt even less reason to trust them, and refused to listen to the advice of the rescued Drain Dwellers, (Ape, Erg, Skids and Tar Baby), who tried to convince them that X-Factor was trying to help them. "And like sniveling Drain Dwellers you’ve accepted it!" Blowhard remarks to Erg. As night fell the Tunnelers had Masque alter their appearance and snuck out, hoping to make a new home in New Jersey. On the way they ran into the Savage Wolf street gang, who, thinking the rag-clad mutants “a pack of well heeled yuppies”, tries to rob them. When the Tunnelers revealed themselves as mutants and attempts to defend themselves, the Savage Wolf Gang leader shoots Blowhard, killing him. The gang leader then got a really bad face-lift from Masque. A drawn-out battle ensues; the gang members are slain, the cops shoot and kill Scaleface and Berzerker, mad with grief, is seemingly destroyed by his own powers.

W

Clyde Wyncham

Clyde Wyncham is a character created by Mark Millar who first appeared in Marvel 1985 and was later revealed to be the only mutant in that dimension and the character was moved to the main Marvel Universe in the last issue. His being released from a secure facility was mentioned in Millar's "Old Man Logan" storyline in Wolverine and it was later revealed that he was one of the most dangerous mutants and would go on to become The Marquis of Death. Wyncham eventually teams up with the Fantastic Four to defeat his possible future self.

Millar has revealed this was all part of a plan to have his own "one-man event" and outlined the story:

“ 1985 is the origin of Clyde Wyncham. And Clyde is the guy who grows up to be the greatest super-villain of all time far into the future. He is back in the Master of Doom storyline in Fantastic Four. What he's done is he's become the master of all space and time and co-exists from the end of the universe to the beginning through multiple dimensions

...

1985 is the origin of Dr. Doom's teacher as well as being a nice, little Stephen King superhero story, you know? And Wolverine: Old Man Logan ties into this because ... the place where Clyde Wyncham is put at the end of 1985 is broken into in Old Man Logan.
